Telemann-Museum
Telemann-Museum stands in Hamburg’s Neustadt district, within the Composers Quarter’s group of composer museums. Georg Philipp Telemann lived and worked in this building from 1721 until his death in 1767. Founded in 2011, the museum follows his life, music, and cultural work during the Baroque period.
Exhibits bring together his church music, secular compositions, and operas, alongside his interest in a botanic garden. The library holds an extensive collection of books on music history and culture for research and education. The Hamburg Telemann Society preserves and promotes this heritage through a wider cultural initiative. Museums devoted to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johannes Brahms place Telemann within Hamburg’s musical heritage.
An original 1730 spinet, made by Thomas Hitchcock, remains one of the collection’s distinctive objects. The instrument is occasionally used for music performances.
